This article argues that readers and critics have long misunderstood Lindsay's intention in writing this lengthy cartoon-story about the adventures of Bunyip Bluegum in protecting Albert, the somewhat cantankerous pudding, as valuable treasure for the Pudding-Owners' Society. This article reviews many scholarly examinations of Lindsay's impressive arrangement of words and drawings to reveal that almost all of the critical commentary on Linday's text fails to understand the hidden politics of this work. Lindsay's classic achievement reflects his promotion of elitist cultural strategies drawn from close reading of the cultural philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900). Lindsay is inspired by his study of Nietzsche to use The Magic Pudding as a critique of Australian public culture. Far from praising Australian nationality or, as critics claim, articulating “the Australian Dream,” Lindsay's 1918 work was highlighting the lack of artistic “free spirits” in Australia's complacent civic culture.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 2","pages":"256-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148343302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploring Membership Application Data of the National Front of Australia","authors":"Evan Smith, Lauren Pikó","doi":"10.1111/ajph.70045","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ajph.70045","url":null,"abstract":"This paper addresses a problem for scholars examining the question of who supports far right political parties or movements. Due to the semi-clandestine or oppositional nature of far right groups, historians, as well as those in adjacent disciplines, have often been unable to gain access to sufficient records or data to conduct analysis of who supports such groups, particularly accurate membership data. While this is a phenomenon experienced by scholars in many countries, it is especially difficult when examining the far right in Australia, where it has largely been considered a fringe movement. This paper engages with this problem by using membership application forms, copied by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, of the small far right political party in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the National Front of Australia. Drawing upon the demographic data provided by these forms, the paper attempts to build a picture of who supported the NFA, in terms of occupation, age, gender and location. As the NFA was associated with the much larger National Front in Britain, a comparison can also be made between the limited data on NF membership in the 1970s and its corresponding sister organisation in the antipodes.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 2","pages":"291-314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148343153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Inquiry and its final report, Bringing Them Home, highlighted the traumatic impact and nationwide extent of child removal practices implemented across Australia over more than a century. Calling on deeply personal testimony, the Inquiry carried profound implications for Australian history, for the government and non-government agencies and actors involved in First Nations child removal, and for removed individuals, their families and communities. Drawing on archival research, this article explores the impact of the election of the Howard government in March 1996 on the Inquiry's proceedings. It identifies the processes through which the Howard government formulated its submission to the Inquiry in 1996 and developed its response to the Bringing Them Home report in 1997. This in-depth examination of key moments in the Howard government's relationship with the Inquiry seeks to inform understanding of the political contention around First Nations truth-telling in Australia.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 1","pages":"14-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

John Dunmore Lang (1799–1878) made radical arguments for disestablishment and full religious freedom. He was also vociferous—yet paternalistic—in his defense of the full humanity of Aboriginal people. Lang's views on religious liberty have not been brought into conversation with his complex attitudes towards Aborigines, whom he saw as potential rather than full rights-bearing subjects. Through a close examination of Lang's published and unpublished work, this article argues that Lang's views on religious liberty were an outworking of a larger vision of human personhood and the entwining of civil and political rights that underpinned his work. This exploration of Lang's work is a window into a broader moment of transformation in the mid-19th-century British imperial world, in which struggles for colonial self-government were shaped by contestation over the rights of imperial subjects, and to whom these rights extended.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 1","pages":"92-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public debate revealed Indigenous Australians to be ideologically diverse. We use survey data to document some of this, including a lack of commitment, among some, to the historical perspective underpinning the Uluru Statement. However useful it was to the No case during the Voice debate, disunity of opinion hardly disqualifies the Indigenous claim to peoplehood. More significant to Indigenous Australians was whether a single body could represent the many First Nations, and the relationship between recognising the Voice (with or without constitutional amendment) and negotiating a treaty. The No campaign, with some Indigenous support, made much of the issue of whether Indigenous Australians are “peoples” with collective rights, or a “race” made up of many individual citizens with no distinct collective rights within a liberal polity. Distaste for “race” (as concept and legal term) was found, in different forms, on both sides of the referendum debate.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 1","pages":"69-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
